well the rocket was fired the day before yesterday. how far into space did it go, colonel? nearly 14 hundred miles...when the rocket was halfway across that band of radiation that surrounds the earth, a signal from our installation caused the rocket to eject the nose cone. why are you so sure that it landed on our farm colonel? we're not. we're only sure that it landed within a 20 mile radius. unless somebody discovers the space capsule by accident, our only hope of finding it is by combing every foot of this area. well you certainly have our permission. just what does a space capsule look like?

well this particular one is cone shaped, about 3 feet long and nice inches across the base. ♪ does it contain anything besides instruments? this one did. it contained a passenger...a ginny pig! a ginny pig? well... i thought it was a monster. now one word of warning: if you should happen to find that space capsule before we do...please don't touch it. not under any circumstances. we understand. well thank you both. ♪ ♪ ♪
